Love Where You Live - Columbia

Are you looking for a great way to become more involved in your neighborhood? Would you like to help neighbors in need? Here is a project for you! The Office of Neighborhood Services is partnering with Central Missouri Community Action, Boone County Council on Aging, and several other mid-Missouri non-profits on Love Where You Live - Columbia.

Specific people the program strives to reach out to include:
